ALL INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BEFORE
USING THE BUON VINO MINI JET FILTER
FILTER PAD DIRECTIONS
(A) The #1 filter pads are a coarse pad, used mainly
for heavy wines. These pads will produce minimal
clarity for your wine. They are used as a first
filtration to extract the larger suspended particles.
(B) The #2 pads are finer and are used for brightening
and polishing your wine. You should notice a brightness
and clarity. These pads remove smaller suspended
particles and are used for your second filtration.
(C) It you prefer to further enhance your wine or
if you plan on bottling, use our #3 pads. These
pads should only be used if your wine has been filtered
with our #2 pads at least once. The #3 pads assist
in removing the high percentage of yeast in the
wine.
NOTE:
One set of pads will effectively filter 23 litres
(5 gallons) of wine. Remove the pads and replace
with a new set after above mentioned quantity use.
Discard after use.
MOTOR
DIRECTIONS
IT
IS VERY IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Once you have started filtering DO NOT filter more
than 10 gallons or 50 litres of wine at a time.
If you have additional wine to be filtered you MUST
allow the motor to cool for 45 minutes to 1 hour
before commencing filtration.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT LET THE PUMP RUN DRY.
IMPORTANT: WINE MUST RE RACKED OR DECANTED AT LEAST
ONCE DURING THE NORMAL PROCESS OF WINE MAKING.
NOTE:
PRIOR TO FILTERING, RACK YOUR WINE INTO A NEW CONTAINER.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1) READ FILTER PAD DIRECTIONS AND MOTOR DIRECTIONS
FIRST.
2) Remove the pads from the package and place them
in a clean container with enough fresh water to
cover the pads and allow them to soak (approx. 5
min.) Make sure pads are not bunched together while
soaking, allow the water to saturate on both sides
of the 3 pads.
3) Attach the small diameter piece of hose supplied,
to the fitting located under the drip tray. ("A"
on diagram). This same hose is used for racking
and cleaning your pump.
4) Loosen the two black hand wheels and remove the
two central plates.
5) Remove the pads from the water and begin inserting
them into the filter body. The course side will
be facing the hand wheels and the holes will be
aligned See diagram. The pads have a tight fit.
Make sure to press down on the pad so that both
sides of the "T" are sitting on the two side bolts
and the pad is straight along the top.
Place the pad into the filter body, next place one
of the central filtering plates, insert the second
pad and the next plate in the same manner, followed
by the last pad. Once the pads and the plates are
inserted all the pads and the plates should be even
along the top.
NOTE:
The pads are cut in a "T" formation with one
side of the "T" higher than the other. The hooks
on both sides of the filter plates also have the
same offset. This allows you to insert the pads
and plates properly.
6) Tighten the hand wheels to ensure a tight seal
on the pads.
7) Insert the intake hose, which contains a stainless
steel wire and a red anti-sediment tip to the inlet
on the pump. (B on the diagram.)
8) Insert the long slightly larger diameter, out-take
lube onto the exit nozzle (C on the diagram)
9) Place the intake tube into the wine to be tittered.
Next place your out-lake tube and the small tube
attached to the drip tray into your container which
will hold your tittered wine.
Upon commencing your filtration lie wine will push
out the water that remains in the pad via your out
take lube. Allow the water to flow out prior to
placing the hose into the container which will hold
your filtered wine. It you desire, you may place
the tube attached to the drip tray into a separate
container and re-titter this wine at the end.
(10) You are now ready to filter. Plug in the cord
and turn on the switch located at the rear at the
filter.
11) The pump may initially be dry, and will not
draw the wine quickly. If this happens force some
wine using the intake tube, into the pump.
12) For you convenience you may use the pump tor
racking. For set up, follow the same directions
as suggested tor cleaning your pump (bypassing the
filter plates)
WARNING:
THIS FEATURE MUST NOT BE USED IF THERE ARE SOLIDS
IN THE WINE I.E.. OAK CHIPS, ELDERBERRIES ETC...
WARRANTY WILL BE VOID.
MAINTENANCE
When you have finished CLEAN YOUR PUMP.
It is important to keep your filter clean.
1) Remove the short tube which had been placed on
the fitting under the drip tray . Disconnect the
short tube which leads from the pump to your first
filtering plate and attach the drip tray tube to
the outlet portion of the pump, leaving your intake
tube connected to your pump. You now have a direct
line through your pump, bypassing the filter plates.
Pump clean cold water through your pump. Place your
intake tube into approx. 15 lit or 3 gal. of clean
water and your out-take tube in an empty container.
Turn on the pump, allowing the clean water to flush
out the pump.
2) UNPLUG THE MOTOR.
3) Remove your filtering plates and hoses and clean.
When cleaning your drip tray be VERY
CAREFUL. Do not allow
any water to get into the motor section.
4) From time to time, place some petroleum jelly
on the threaded portion of the two side bolts, keeping
them lubricated.
SUGGESTIONS
FOR GOOD FILTRATION
A) Filtration is the last step in wine making. Its
purpose is to further clarify and help remove unnecessary
by-products and a high percentage of yeast in the
wine.
B) In order to achieve optimum results we suggest
that a waiting period of at least 5 days take place
between filtrations, as you progress to tighter
(lower micron size) pads.
C) To further enhance and maintain your wine it
should be properly balanced and stabilized before
filtering. It is a good rule to add (10 grams) Metabisulphite
and (10 grams.) Ascorbic acid for each 20 gal. (91
litres) of wine.
You may also use TANNISOL, which contains the proper
percentages of products in combination form and
simplifies the process of wine stabilization (Follow
proper directions).
The BUON VINO FILTER PADS, TANNISOL or any necessary
product and instructions can be obtained from the
same retailer.
